Maitre D': You're Abe Froman?
Ferris: That's right. I'm Abe Froman.
Maitre D': The sausage king of Chicago?
Ferris: [brief hesitation] Yeah. That's me.
Maitre D': You're Abe Froman?
Ferris: That's right, I'm Abe Froman.
Maitre D': The Sausage King of Chicago?
Ferris: [caught off-guard] ... Uh yeah, that's me.
Maitre D': Look, I'm very busy. Why don't you take the kids and go back to the clubhouse?
Ferris: Are you suggesting that I'm not who I say I am?
Maitre D': I'm suggesting that you leave before I have to get snooty.
Ferris: Snooty?
Maitre D': Snotty.
Ferris: Snotty?

I can't believe nobody gets this joke. Abe Froman the sausage king of Chicago. Think people Abe Froman is Jewish.

Hi,

Welcome to AnandTech Forums. I locked the thread because the previous reply was alm ost nine years ago.

Our members refer to such posts as "necro" posts, and some of them tend to post replies ranging from sarcastic to hostile, including possible accusations of spamming, whether warranted or not.

Thanks for understanding. We hope you enjoy yourself on our forums. :)

I can't believe you necro'ed this thread to explain the obvious. You don't even have to get that joke to get that scene.

I really don't even know what the OP was struggling with.

Three year ban? That must have been a hell of a tale you told.

A moderator & I got into a heated political argument - at the time I didn't know he was a mod. The moderator then banned me & changed all his posts so he looked completely innocent. He later claimed that his nephew had logged in as him & was posting as him during the argument. Justice has been done - he's been permabanned for unrelated offenses.
